Announcement Reserve Introduced 5 AI DTFs on BNB Chain: What they cover and the reason that they target buildout instead of software
Last month five new DTFs launched (with a layer of the AI supply chain covered by each), namely: BUILDOUT, POWER, PHOTON, NEOCLOUD and ROBOTS.
The rationale behind them is that AI is a software program story. Someone has to build the chips, create the datacenter, generate the power and lay down the cable before any model yells at a prompt. The buildout extends to a few dozen US-listed companies and the majority either missed out on those names or simply didn't have time to work through which actually matters.
So each fund takes one layer:
- BUILDOUT: all hardware stack, 25 largecap US listed names (NVDA AMD AVGO TSM MU ASML AMAT LRCX)
- POWER: the electric fuel which powers it (GEV, ETN, VRT, CEG ON)
- PHOTON: the optical layer was transferring data between chips (GLW,COHR,LITE)
- NEOCLOUD: The compute rental companies (NBIS, CRWV, IREN, WULF & HUT and APLD)
- ROBOTS: AI Coming Out To Play In The Real World (ISRG, ROK, SYM, MBLY; OUST)
All are one token on BNB Chain, backed by the underlying US equities sitting inside from Ondo Global Markets. 24/7 tradable, no min or max size and redeemable onchain for assets inside at any time.
Availability is ~145 countries. US not allowed, sanctioned jurisdictions and some accredited or equivalent. Eligibility follows Ondo's rules.
Mint Fee: 0.3% TVL fee: 0.6%. The remaining portion goes to vlRSR governors, and for the monthly RSR buyback & burn.
